NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       IO::Mode< >

12     =  Mode([IO::Permission] ownerperms,[IO::Permission] groupperms,[IO::Per‐
13     mission]   othersperms,Bool   socket,Bool    symlink,Bool    regular,Bool

DESCRIPTION

18       This describes the mode of the file. The first  three  fields  describe
19       the  access  IO.Permission  (3kaya) for the file owner, the file group,
20       and others, while the remaining fields state whether a particular  file
21       property is true.
22
23       This  data  type  mostly  applies  to the filesystems normally found on
24       POSIX systems. On Windows, the file permission and type model is  some‐
25       what different, so this data type may not hold especially useful infor‐
26       mation there.
